Highlights of Norwich's 3-1 win over Burton Albion

Norwich went top of the Sky Bet Championship as a 3-1 victory at home to Burton allowed them to take advantage of Huddersfield's 1-0 defeat at Reading.
Martin Olsson grabbed only the third league goal of his Norwich career with a*close-range finish in the 29th minute to*put the home side in front.
A Lucas Akins equaliser for Burton at the start of the second half was immediately*followed by a Jacob Murphy goal before Ivo*Pinto secured a fourth straight*league win for Alex Neil's men, despite Robbie Brady missing a penalty after Tom*Flanagan was sent off for handball.
Highlights of Reading's 1-0 win over Huddersfield

Previous leaders Huddersfield slipped to a 1-0 loss to Reading at the Madejski Stadium.*They faced an uphill battle after Rajiv van*La Parra was sent off for dissent in*only the 26th minute and the Terriers went behind 15 minutes later to a*deflected Roy Beerens strike.
The Royals then survived a second-half rally from the visitors to move up to*fourth in the table, just behind Brighton on*goal difference after the Seagulls*won 2-0 at home to Barnsley thanks to a goal in each half from Glenn Murray.
Birmingham extended their unbeaten away record but had to settle for a 1-1 draw*at QPR after Lukas Jutkiewicz's*opener was cancelled out before half-time by*Steven Caulker's header.

Two of the Championship's in-form strikers were again on target. Tammy Abraham*needed only 10 minutes to net his*10th goal of the season for Bristol City*before second-half goals from Luke Freeman, Bobby Reid and Aden Flint*completed*a 4-0 thrashing of Fulham, who had Kevin McDonald sent off.
Chris Wood also scored for a fourth successive game to maintain Leeds' revival*with a 1-0 win at home to Ipswich.
Highlights of Blackburn's 2-1 win away at Derby

Derby's poor start to the season continued as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat at*home to Blackburn. Ben Marshall*missed a first-half penalty for Rovers and they*looked set to pay the price when Matej Vydra finally netted the*Rams' first home*league goal of the season.

Their relief was short-lived, though, as two goals in four minutes from Marvin*Emnes and former Derby loanee Danny*Graham turned the match on its head.
Cardiff also climbed out of the relegation zone as they came from behind to*beat fellow strugglers Rotherham 2-1,*Rickie Lambert netting a second-half brace*after Chelsea loan man Izzy Brown had put the Millers in front.

Sheffield Wednesday beat Nottingham Forest 2-1 with Kieran Lee scoring a*stoppage-time winner, the midfielder*having earlier cancelled out Henri*Lansbury's first-half opener.
Wolves winger Joao Teixeira opened his goal account with a double to help earn*a 3-1 win against Brentford at*Molineux.
Teixeira, who is on a season-long loan from Benfica, struck twice in 11 minutes*at the start of the second half and*although Sullay Kaikai gave Brentford hope,*substitute Ivan Cavaleiro struck in stoppage time to end their four-match*unbeaten run.
